Letter for Loan


Feb. 16th, 2011

RE: Bank loan

Dear Scotia bank,

My name. I am writing to you to apply for a loan to buy a car that costs $43, 890 with. I would like to take out a $45, 000 dollar loan, which would be paid by 1 payment of $1000 dollars a month for 4 years (plus interest).

I am a young woman who loves to have fun and play, but who also loves to learn. Having a car is sometimes essential to this, as I need to drive or be driven to school or work. I am also very active, and to be driven to all of my activities I need a car. I have looked at several cars and decided on this car (the Toyota Highlander) because it meets all of my expectations and has lots of room in it for all of my stuff. I think that getting this car will be a huge step forward for me in transportation and activities.

I will be awaiting your reply to my letter. If you need to contact me prior to this, you can contact me either by phone or by email at
Thank you for your time in considering my application.

Sincerely,
